Webinar: The Global Glyphosate Study

9th July, 2025
 

 

New, groundbreaking research linking Glyphosate to cancer is forcing governments to review their support for the world’s most popular weedkiller (used extensively across our towns and cities). 
 
This webinar is an exclusive opportunity to hear about the most comprehensive, global study ever conducted on Glyphosate from its only UK-based contributor, Professor Micheal Antoniou (Professor of Molecular Genetics and Toxicology at Kings College London). 
 
Published on the 10th June in the prestigious Environmental Health journal, the study confirms that Glyphosate and Glyphosate-based herbicides cause multiple types of cancer, even at exposure levels deemed to be “safe” by the EU. It was coordinated by the Ramazzini Institute in Italy and involved scientists from across the US, South America and Europe.
 
In response to this landmark study, the European Commission has said that it will review this new data and “act immediately to amend or withdraw the approval,” of glyphosate if it “no longer meets” the EU’s safety standards. This decision would have huge implications in the UK and beyond. 
 
Sign up to this free, one-off webinar to hear Professor Antoniou present the study’s key findings. There will also be a chance for questions.
